Injury-hit Black Caps get reinforcements for West Indies T20 series

The Black Caps reinforce their squad with Kyle Jamieson and Ish Sodhi for the T20 series after injuries and Kane Williamson's retirement, coach Rob Walter said.

  • This coming week NZC announced the Black Caps squad for the five-match series against the West Indies, starting in Auckland on Wednesday and scheduled for November 5, 6, 9, 10 and 13.
  • Injuries and recent retirement forced NZC into selection adjustments as Finn Allen and Glenn Phillips remain unavailable after American Major League Cricket injuries, while Kane Williamson retired earlier on Sunday and Bevon Jacobs was dropped.
  • Kyle Jamieson will make his comeback after a side strain that ruled him out of the ODI series against England, while Ish Sodhi returns to the squad as New Zealand’s most-capped T20I player.
  • Mitchell Santner will captain the Black Caps with Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman and others named, while Matt Henry will take a short break to rehab his calf, coach Rob Walter said.
  • Blair Tickner was left out despite his man-of-the-series showing, and the tour forms part of a multi-format tour with five T20Is, three ODIs, and three Tests.
